No, he's not on lyrica. He took it a long time ago for about a week. Did absolutely nothing for him. He can't take neurontin because it made him deathly ill. We did ask the podiatrist about the trigger point injections but he said "that's not my field, you need to speak to your doctor, or a pain management doctor".

When Alan asked his doctor, he was told to "ask the podiatrist".

If you think he's going to start playing musical chairs with these guys, you don't know my husband. He'll just go back to the gym because that's what got him better in the first place. And now that the ulcer is healed, he'll think he's Rocky Balboa except he can't go on treadmills.

I will ask about a compound cream Just for when he sleeps. Even with the sponges, cotton balls, whatever, there is still a residual pain there. Over 15 years now. But it's much better. It would be so nice if he could be completely pain free when he goes to bed at night. But it is better with the sponges or cotton balls between his toes. That much I know.

Right now, he is sitting in the kitchen looking at a Harriet Carter Catalogue.
His recliner broke last week so he has to sit on the couch when he watches his programs.

He just sat up in the kitchen and shouted "I've found it, I've found it". I said "you found what??" and he showed me in the catalogue this blow up mattress (kind of like an aerobed). I looked at Alan like he lost his mind and I said "Have you lost your mind?" "You want to buy a blow up mattress and put it in the living room to watch tv?, why on earth do this, just go and sit on the couch". He said "no, this is nice, it's only $19.95 and we can blow it up, and I can put pillows and lay down and watch tv".

My response: "over my dead body".

Don't know about Dunkin Donuts tomorrow
